Thanks. I ♡ gear reviews from ladies.
Your honest opinion matters .. Thank You !
Mountain Hardwear makes great rain pants with very long size zippers for ventilation.
Congrats on the PCT and 5000 miles!!
Time to start thinking about a triple crown!!
Funny - I also hate small annoying noises.
My solution...
I love using a bamboo spoon - you can purchase them in short or long handle.
Really light weight and nearlyno noise!
My summer quilt is exactly the same... colors and model are the same, but it is a 40 degree. I also have a zero degree EE quilt for cold. I ditched the straps quickly... when it is cold, I clip all of the clips together under me which keeps the warm air in! I have the same sleeping pad, although perhaps a smaller one, and sleeping directly on that with the quilt tucked around me is so warm. Only issue is if I toss and turn and the opening moves from the pad... then it is cold. But just have to readjust... it's worth it to me. Guess I have only maybe around 3500 miles on my experience and maybe 1000 of that in cold weather.... to give perspective to my two cents. 😀
I love the positive potato.
For fast charging - look for chargers with USB-C connectors, those are faster. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB-C Also, look for the little cube-shaped chargers (it should say 'gallium nitride' on it or in the labeling somewhere) - these use electronics that can perform at a higher temperature and again supports faster charging.
Hi Juliane. Loved seeing your "helper". I know you couldn't have done the gear review without her. Lol. Good review. It's interesting how much of it made it through all your hikes. That's impressive. Thanks for sharing. Take care. Stay safe. See you on the next video.
Thank you, RoadRunner! Great job!
If you are looking for a new plug charger, I recommend one of the GaN chargers from Anker - super small 100W and very fast charging, 2 usb-c and 1 usb-a. They are a bit pricey but really nice and not too heavy
Agreed!
I think it also depends on the powerbank and the power it can accept on input. For example, my Nitecore Carbo 20000 accepts only 18w input 😢
Outdoor Research makes a decent Marino Wool glove with touchscreen pads on the tips. Then as a semi waterproof shell I bought a pair of cheap ski gloves, ripped the guts out of them and they fit perfectly over the ORs if you needed weather protection or extra warmth.
I used a snow peak stove for a long time, but I got really frustrated with how long it took to boil water. Recently I changed to the soto windmaster and love it. It's a little heavier and a little more bulky than the snow peak, but it boils water lightning fast. There is a lighter 3 prong pot support you can buy to shave off a few grams. I was a bit worried about the pot support not being connected to the stove while packed down because that's just one more thing to lose, but I found it practice it hasn't been a problem for me.
ditto on the soto wind master, LOVE it, so light and the self-ignitor is still working. It was recommended to me by a panel of women who long distance solo hike. I did the TRT with it this summer and only used 1 small fuel canister for heating water 2x a day.
Thank you for sharing! Please show us your essentials bag. Those little things are the ones I always forget. I often move things in there to my day bag, then forget to move them back. I need to make a complete bag that never gets moved other than refilling it.
i too had a problem with the 10,000 mHz nitecore i use my older 20k Anker and it’s very reliable and doesn’t discharge, it’s heavier than the nitecore, but for reliability it far surpasses the nitecore.
Hi Juliane, I just sent you a quick email with photos of my charger. It's Mokin, very small and the prongs fold flat. I used it on the AT and all around the world (with adapters).
Hi Juliane.I really enjoyed your gear review. Was looking for you to do one. Perhaps you can bend your TOAKS pot just a bit to round it out. I also love mine (mine is 750ml) so I understand your attachment to it. I also love the double ended spoon/fork. And love your fur baby’s appearance. 🐾 I am on hold from hiking right now because my furkid is 14 1/2 yrs old old and has lost her sight and her hearing so I cannot leave her with anyone at this point. So my new hiking buddy is my 5 yr old grand daughter. And we camp in Mimi’s back yard for now. Love my Kulas but have that Amazon brand as well. I taught her how to P in the woods when necessary lol. You are a fun and positive role model for girl/women hikers. See you out there!
Hey Julianne roadrunner hope your doing awesome. Keep them videos coming. Love the pup. Dogs are a best bud for sure. Love this video very useful. I thank you!!!
I enjoyed this video. Fun to see what an experienced thru hiker likes and dislikes gear wise. Congratulations on your PCT thru hIke.
Thanks for sharing the gear you used, it’s very helpful. I might be strange but I would love to know what’s in your Diddy bag and first aid kit. 😊
Sure thing!
Hey Girl: aka Roadrunner:
Question, I know before the walk you were can you say down, depressed, missing the trail. How are you feeling now.?
How many reroutes were required by fires?
What were you daily miles a day? You can break it up in sections. So many questions. Liters of water thru the desert?
I know this video is about gear. And I thank you.
Helping you with ideas for next one.
Guess you heard that they want you to start at Rock Fish Gap @ mile 865.
Will my choice is to start in April there or start in On the PCT same date.
Any ideas?
through the desert.
Thanks for the gear review. keep the videos coming.
My husband and kids got me a long handled spoon for Christmas last year that has a silicone bowl (spoon part) and it is awesome. I like it so much better than the regular titanium/metal spoons.
Thanks for this! As I’m preparing for my PCT thru hike, it helps to see what others have used successfully. I like carrying a pillow which, after watching your video, is looking like a luxury item for me, but I’m just a fan of a light inflatable pillow. One thing I would be curious about is, if you started wearing a fanny pack, would it turn into a valued part of your gear list? It’s always handy to have fast accessible pockets, and it comes in handy for town as well.
I do carry a fanny pack. I’ll include it in my next video
For hiking pants I really like the Outdoor Vitals Satu pants, which they offer in a ladies cut as well. Not cheap, but they have lasted through everything I’ve put them through with only one mishap involving sliding down a gravel slope on my butt and getting a couple holes in the back pocket.
Ironic that I purchased the dancer pants for my John Muir Trail thru hike earlier this summer because of your recommendation. My 30 yr old son Purchased some too. We BOTH used them a lot. Neither of us brought pants, rain or otherwise for this trek. They were great. We also used the BRS stove and and I agree, gloves are necessary and mine sucked.
For hiking pants I really like the Prana Halle straight fit - it’s water repellent and the fit is very nice!
Waterproof/windproof pants - Arc’teryx Beta Pant are excellent.
Your mom’s dog was cute 😅
Two great options for wind pants: (1) EE WOMEN'S COPPERFIELD WIND PANTS. I brought these to the Sierra in 2023 expecting no rain, instead it rained 2-3 times a day due to hurricane Hillary. These performed amazing. Not sure if they are hardy enough for a full thru.
(2) zpacks Women's Vertice Rain Pants. Slightly thicker and more durable than wind pants. Many people carry these on thrus and they get good ratings.
Also - zpacks has an excellent water holder for your shoulder strap. Probably more durable than the Etsy ones.
Hi Julianne. I'm a recent new subscriber by unintentionally finding your AT "movie" vlog. I haven't watched all of your AT individual vlogs yet because I have been watching your informational ones.
I love that you did this vlog even though I bought my tent and backpack just this year. Wish I would have found you before those 2 large purchases. But, there is always N+1. Right?!?
I will eventually catch up to watching all of your vlogs probably as long as it took you to hike the trails. 😄Keep on hiking.🥾🥾
Great video. Lots of things to consider about gear. If your next hike is the CDT you may want to look at a 20 and a 10 K set of battery packs. Longer hikes between resupply and cell service is a bit tougher, as well. Happy trails.
Now I know why you’re so funny! Fun finds you 😊 I am glad you are still sharing with us, Bossbae and Birdcall too, just need Boujee to give an update ❤ I was wondering if you are still planning to hike with him in Oregon I think you said? Can’t wait to see y’all together again 😊
They're hiking somewhere (not the hiker) in December
@@umreeh thank you 😊
@@umreeh On the Foothills Trail, if I recall correctly.
Agree on the MSR Groundhogs! I think I have the minis and they have been great,.. except for rocky ground which is then just a headache for any trekking pole tent I think. Also had zipper issues with my ZPacks Soleplex... ZPacks was kind to send me free zipper sliders while I was on the AT, though trying to fix those zippers was a. whole process!
Good gear video! I haven't started your Pinhoti videos yet, been spending more time in the forest instead, but I'll watch when I have time. Temres 282 are my go-to gloves for cold and wet weather, otherwise just use your extra socks for cold and dry weather (or take another pair for using on either hands and feet). I totally agree with using a sleeping bag, even though I use a duvet at home, a sleeping bag cuts out the drafts I felt the time I tried out a quilt--or maybe I'm just too old to change at this point. Enjoy your winter, I hope you get the chance to hike a bit.
Nice loadout ,, with experienced gained ,, you find what works for you ... Nothing wrong with trying new things and giving a negative review of it ,, that certainly helps others weigh the option .. Look forward to Future Trail Time with RoadRunner ... Stay Safe ...
Thankyou for taking the time to share this info. 😊
Ditty bag - YES PLEASE! That’s where I pick up my extra weight. What to bring, what not to bring, how much? I get stuck on the ‘might need’ and unsure about finding stuff along the way. Help! If you don’t do an actual video, send or put out a list. Do you carry Leuko tape and tenacious tape and duct tape? How much first aid bandaids & blister stuff etc. That’s where I get bogged down.
Your Dog, is awesome! Great to see you do a gear review after completing your PCT hike. This type of information is very helpful in deciding on future purchase. Any thoughts on the Platypus Water filter, I believe you might have purchased on about the midway point. Thanks 🤙🏽
Quilts.. less lofty means wash it. It should loft up.
I enjoyed this!
Amazon has some 40 W fast chargers USB C. 2 pack 4 ports. The one I bought was Csodince $19.99. I like it. Maybe worth a look.
Explain the crazy neighbor! 😂
I want to hear that story too 😅
I watched the whole gear review with interest but was disappointed you didn’t talk about your neck knife. I’ve noticed it on your videos and think every outdoors person should have at least a pocket knife. But I haven’t seen hikers wearing neck knives before. Is that one super light weight? A special brand you like? Anyway we enjoy your videos, your humor, your interest in language and especially your singing. Best of luck on your future through hikes.
I’ll make sure I include the knife next video
"I don't really like annoying sounds." Me neither - especially the sound of cutlery on dishes!
10:47 Trekking poles are very useful, but definitely not a necessity. Anybody can walk without trekking poles. I have never used them when hiking, although I would. Hell, they didn't even exist 30 years ago. Before that if you needed more support when hiking, you had to use a walking stick.
What kind of bag is a trash compactor bag? 😂 excuse my ignorance. I need a brand, or where can I find this, etc… I need the all the details 😅😅😅 thank you! 😂
Hi Juliane, I missed the brand name of your mid layer and I really like them could you please let mr know what the brand name is. Thank You
SkyGOAT. I do have a code with them so you can save 20 % off you purchase. It’s Roadrunner20
Charger Anker Nano USB C ... 1.1 ounces .. 20 bucks
Battery T-Core 10k (digital readout) --> 30% per hr .. 32 bucks
make sure you get fast charge cables that can handle the volt amperes
two nanos are better than 1 double input charger, because multi-load plugs reduce the actual charge speed, and at 1.1 ounces the nanos are often lighter and you can fast load two devices at the same time
thank you, if you wrere to switch from down to synthetic on sleeping bag/quilt, do you have a bag in mind?
The dog’s not used to someone sitting on the floor talking to herself! 😂
how many pounds is the gear and food after a resupply for a section...i know it depends on the amount of days before the next resupply. General idea...my gear is all old school😊
Also, suggest you add "Dirty Girls" to your footwear pack. They DO keep debris out of your socks and shoes (balsam needles) and at only1oz.
I need the velcro for my dirty girls as I switched to HOKAs. How long are yours that came with them. Love my gaiters!
@@DeniseLudwig-h3h You can get more at any Crafts store like michaels even walmart
Can't tell... did you wash your sleeping bag/quilt?
1.4 oz without the battery for the flex tail.
Glove never worked for me. If you want warm hands use some kind of mitten. Your fingers will thank you🎉
Are you just joking 5000 miles? 😯👍, I barely made it 20 km
Julianne 😎👍🏼
